Direnzo DRZ03 Eclipse V2 Burgundy Red - Swiss Made
The Direnzo DRZ03 Eclipse V2 is a Swiss Made 40mm dive watch from our favorite genuine Swiss microbrand. We're stocking all of the colors in just the date window variant.
Why We Love This Watch
The Hottest Color is Back!
The Direnzo DRZ03 "Blood Moon" Red was by far the most popular color choice in Direnzo's original release of this series. It's great to see it back, this time in a new and improved version, the Direnzo DRZ03 Eclipse V2 Burgundy Red "Blood Moon", where we get a wonderful fume gradient outer sector on the dish-shaped curved dial that slowly transitions from a dark burgundy at the outer edge to a lighter inner red.
We recommend pairing Direnzo's red tropic straps with this watch.
Direnzo's Attention to Detail
The Eclipse takes it's name from a solar eclipse where you see the sun's halo poking out from behind the moon. Direnzo have done a fantastic job emphasizing that by the use of of a darker disc to represent the moon in the middle of the dial with the outer area representing the sun's halo. That in itself is a nice touch, but Direnzo have a second eclipse in store for the careful observer too, where the lollipop on the second hand passes precisely over the center of the date window, totally eclipsing it. There are also playful references to famous watch models from the past that collectors can discover as well, with Direnzo still very much coming up with their own aesthetic.
Engineering to Match
With excellent specifications such as a scratch resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, a scratch resistant ceramic bezel, Swiss Super-Luminova lume, 200 meters of water resistance, (double that of many dive watches,) and an upgraded elabore grade high beat Swiss movement with better accuracy and improved Incabloc shock protection, the Direnzo DRZ03 Eclipse V2 Burgundy Red is an elegant yet robust tool watch that can equally be enjoyed on the beach or in the boardroom.
Video Reviews
Please note that the red watch shown in this review is the "no date" version. All of the Direnzo DRZ03 Eclipse V2 watches that we sell have a round date window just above the 6 o'clock index. This perfectly aligns with the lollipop on the second hand, and is one of Direnzo's trademark features.Watch Specifications
